Head of Copy

As our incoming Head of Copy, you’ll lead and mentor a high-performing and experienced team of writers, and head up our copy team – a new sub-team formed on your arrival that sits within ZOE’s Creative Studio. As an exceptional copywriter, you’ll set the bar for what great copy looks like and ensure that the bar is maintained at every moment in which a customer meets ZOE. Essential to success in this role will be an ability to effectively manage and coach a high-performing team whilst building and maintaining centralised systems that enable your influence to scale. You’ll bring fresh, bold and creative ideas that help ZOE cut through in a crowded market. We care deeply about our customers, science, creating joyful brand experiences, delivering commercial impact, and maintaining a high bar for creative output.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own the Bar for Copy Excellence: You will do great writing - define and protect what 'great' looks like for ZOE copy. Lead through doing, setting an undeniable standard via your own brilliant copy execution. Build strong internal trust and establish seamless ways of working with creative leadership.
• Build Scalable Systems: Create, update, and maintain our foundational creative assets, including comprehensive brand and copy bibles. Be accountable for making sure these assets are useful and effective – you're accountable for ensuring the team is using them and finding them to be effective.
• Establish Team Culture & Rituals: Run copy critiques, facilitate collaboration, and establish a feedback culture to drive your team members' growth and elevate collective output.
• Campaign Briefing & Delivery: Lead and collaborate on creating cut-through campaign briefs. Translate briefs across touch points, seamlessly threading qualitative and quantitative insights directly into messages that convert.

What You'll Bring

• Experience & Craft: Copy Mastery: You have a killer portfolio, including exceptional long-form sales copy that’s made sales. Proven Commercial Leader: You'll have a significant depth of leadership experience, having built, scaled, led and coached high-performing teams who have driven commercial business impact. Consumer-First Background: You bring strong consumer-facing or creative agency experience. Please note: We are looking for consumer growth experts, so a B2B-only background won't be a fit for this role. Data-Informed Creative Execution: You have had direct, on-the-tools exposure to a sales feedback loop at some stage in your career. For example, you’ve written an email newsletter, for social media, or paid performance ads.
• Thinking & Mindset: Copy Obsessive: You have a genuine obsession with the craft, you’ll be able to articulate the why behind copy decisions down to a granular level. High Agency: Comfortable challenging senior stakeholders, the status quo and yourself to strive to always be better.
